Which is the lesser of two evils, for her to gain her 'additional powers' (if they go that route)?
1. As a reaction to the cure.
2. Steals them from someone other than Ms. Marvel?

It doesn't make sense for her to gain those additional powers as a reaction to the cure. She should just get her absorbing powers back, but doesn't have to necessarily steal the Ms Marvel-like powers from someone. They could be dying and they allow her to take it to carry on the fight. It's entirely plausible that another couple of mutants could have super strength and flight.

We saw huge lines of mutants taking that cure and I doubt they are all going to react and develop random new powers, so I don't like that idea for Rogue.

We already discussed who she might steal them from, except these threads go round and round on a loop like some kind of washing machine and we end up saying the same thing over and over as every new person arrives! The person I suggested was M = Monet St Croix, who has similar powers to Ms Marvel.

But can you really see Anna Paquin's Rogue flying around and punching through buildings??? It's a bit of a stretch.

In Age of X timeline, Rogue was known as Legacy or Reaper, she "reaped" the memories of dying mutants. Perhaps in DoFP she reaps the powers of dying mutants, and as an effect of her powers returning after the cure, she can recall the powers at will? That would be interesting.

I already suggested something similar, where she could consciously tap into the powers she absorbed, and no one liked it!

Im being a bit sarcastic. I dont think its as hard to pull off as many think though. She needs to be better represented at any cost imo.

Rogues one of my favorite characters, but shes been horrible in these films.

The notion of a broader truth to her energy absorption was hinted at in the first two films. She steals powers but also possesses a vast amount of energy in order to do so. They can explain that in the original trilogy she simply hadn't figured out the full extent of her abilities but did after she relapsed from the cure. She discovered that by exerting said vast energy she could gain flight & superhuman strength.

People act like they are such purists when it comes to the comics, Rogue being included in that. So how can it be that they demand Rogue be the Rogue they remember/like (which by the way, isn't the only way she's been since her inception) and then are so whole heartedly for skipping around Ms. Marvel.

"She was a crappy character because she didn't say 'sugah' and chuck something over her head."

I'm all for Rogue displaying a wider range of abilities in the films and I'd love to see her flying and punching through walls. But that's not the sum of her character and I believe that X1 and X2 portrayed her beautifully and naturally and set her up for something great. So let's get her flying, let's get her tearing the head off of a sentinel, but let's not pretend that that'll be the moment the films rang true for her character.
